MARCH 5. 1003. 1 m . ?? r\( tha na. 1 lie ajj^uiiuuiciu Ui HIV Iivgro doctor, Crum, as collector of the port of Charleston has been discussed by the press until the whole subject is m- nauseating^" It now seenis that a vote will not be taken on Crum's confirmation at this session of congress* and * the appointment will either die a natural death, or be renewed by President Roose_ velt after congress adjourns? probably the latter. President Roosevelt has recently written an open letter jg . to Editor dark Howell, of th*? Athnt* Constitution, de I fending his Southern policy. Like other utterances from the same; source, it is full of bombast, egotism and vainglorious self-approval. There seems to be no way to prevent it so we suppose Mr Roosevelt Will keep on appointing men like Crum to Federal office and at the same time pose as a friend to the South. 8,en son Briefs. Rev William Roof was at his post Sunday morning at the Methodist church. 11 the c'ose of tl sermon? quite a long one?he announced a change in his appointments for j Cedar Swamp church. His regular I appointments are on the first and and third Sundays, bat when a month has five Sundays, he will preach on the fifth Sunday at 3:30 o'clock p. m. instead of the third Sunday....... Mareh came in- like a. lamb; it is to be hoped that, the roaring lion fcaturfja^sociated with March will be omitted this year. The recent rains have have greatly retarded farming operations.

If these rocks were soluble in their natural water-covered state, the water would soon dissolve all soluble portions and carry them out to the ocean.

Cotton also has a critical period?while it is putting on most of its fruit?when it will shed it shapes if not Supplied with plant food, and that means a a second application of fertilizer. Some think that a heavy quantity at first is all right; but it depends upon conditions. A wet spell will carry away the manure if the water be -1 Cn M... 'If.urn fka ntx niKIVirU %AJ I UII uvnu IUV ivnv* Last yeur cotton held it* shape* and boll* much better than usual .because the fertilizer lay in the groupd during the drouth until the late rains set it to work when it sustained the fruit and also produced a lively second growth in the fall. An old farmer, giving advice to young farmers, said: "When you set ,a crop prepare for dry weather; give distance." He should have added, prepare also wet weather?don't let the water run away wi(h the maun re." This is one of the greatest engineering problems for the farmer. Many plough upaud down hill, put in their fertilizer early before planting, pot a furrow or two ou it- and think they have it safe for the crop. But if too much ruiu set in there is great danger of large amount* going ! to the swamps. Once our lot and stables were dowu a bill and many times I saw rain water sweep in at one pair of bars and into the stables and out 011 the opposite side of the lot, and take the road in a reddish stream for the branch. It did not wash the land away but the soluble portions of the manure went all the same. I hail never heard of terracing or of rows run on a level, but I had sense enough to move my stables out of that low place, which improved my manurea very much. But if your patience is not already taxed too much aud you will listen firtn n+ a t?lo ulroml v hi'ipp W a V4 H WflV W??HW J Vf>?v% told, let me tell you again how nicely I saw it demonstrated on a mad bank in Georgetown. The bank was new, and in Jane daring a dry spell I was on it and saw patches of a white substance like salt in many places, which I found to be alum, so I asked how it got on the surface. There is but ODe way? capillary attraction. Moisture is always rising in dry weather, so as soon, as rising moisture touches the particle of auy soluble substauce it is dissolvtd and when brought to the surface the san dries off the water and 1 pavps thr> guhfttai ee on the ton " " """ ~ " M~ where rains dissolve iL and curry it away, if allowed to rim at all. But if it is not allowed to run it soaks back into the grouud and there remains for future or immediate use. Millions of dollars worth of fertilizer are thus silently carried away every year from the unsuspecting farmer. Then, too, a vast deal of fertilizer is taken np by grass and weeds and superfluous plaits when chopping and cultivation are delayed, especially if the weather be wet. Therefore^ t6 be on the safe side, don't pnt down all your fertilizer before planting?give two applications of mahuhes-r " * ...h, In addition to applied vmamtre nature has stored under the surface immense quantities of mineral plan t food in an insoluble state to be acted on by the air wbereever it can penetrate ' . .. \ (C . ;.'.i A-: 1.. -y\r c' ? \ % i . w \ # the soil nnd mnke soluble con ti nil- I ous portion*; to be brought to the I surface by that ever-present dry | weather giant, capillary attraction, which 8crv.-8 the double rapacity of raising water from depths belo\y to t] supply the drooping plants and t forests, and also brings along snch ? plant food as can be dissolved in its C passage.
